As an eye doctor, I want you to know that genetics play a big role in your eye health. Some conditions—like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even certain childhood eye diseases—can be passed down through families.

Knowing your genetic risks gives us the chance to:
 
✅ Detect problems earlier than symptoms appear
✅ Protect your vision with timely treatment
✅ Create a personalized plan for lifelong eye health

Your family history is important, but it doesn’t define your future. Regular eye exams and proactive care can make all the difference in preserving your sight. 

📅 Schedule your comprehensive eye check-up—your future vision starts today!

Children rely heavily on their vision for learning and development, yet many eye issues go unnoticed. Conditions like myopia, lazy eye, crossed eyes, and eye injuries are common—but often preventable or treatable if caught early. Watch for signs like squinting or eye rubbing, and make regular eye check-ups a priority. Protect their eyes during sports, and never ignore symptoms. August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month—a reminder to care for their sight today for a brighter tomorrow. 👁️

Understanding the 4 Stages of Keratoconus Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape and clarity of your cornea. Swipe through to learn how it changes over time and why early detection matters.

🔹 Stage 1 – Mild: Subtle symptoms like slight blur or night glare. Glasses or soft contacts still work well.

🔸 Stage 2 – Moderate: Vision distortion increases—ghosting, halos, and worsening astigmatism. Specialized lenses are usually needed.

🔺 Stage 3 – Advanced: Severe blurring, multiple images, and extreme light sensitivity. Custom lenses are essential for functional vision.

🔻 Stage 4 – Severe: Corneal thinning and scarring can lead to significant vision loss. Contact lenses may no longer help, and surgery is often necessary.

Early diagnosis and proper management can slow progression and protect your vision!

Eye irritation can be incredibly uncomfortable, leading many to try remedies like eyewashes, drops, or even sea salt for relief. However, persistent symptoms may be caused by a Demodex mite infestation—often misdiagnosed as other eye conditions.

These mites can irritate the eyelids and cause damage in several ways, depending on the type and severity of the infestation.

A new treatment uses a special light to protect vision in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD), offering an alternative to eye injections. Dry AMD, a leading cause of vision loss in those over 55, can currently only be treated in certain cases with injections that may slow the disease, though they don’t improve vision. Some patients may also benefit from vitamins.

The FDA approved light therapy for dry AMD based on a small study of 100 participants in the disease’s early stages. They received LumiThera’s Valeda Light Delivery System over nine sessions in 3 to 5 weeks, repeated every four months for 2 years. After 13 months, treated patients saw an average of 5 more letters on an eye chart, compared to 3 more for those given a placebo. The treatment also reduced the risk of geographic atrophy, a severe AMD stage. While generally safe, more treated patients developed wet AMD, and some participants didn’t complete the study.

Have you been told you have cataracts, but not sure about the myths and facts? 🤔 Here are the top 5 myths and facts about cataracts.

Cataracts result from the buildup of protein on the eye’s normally clear lens. They cause cloudy, blurry vision, decreased color perception, and eventually vision loss. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness, affecting 20 million people worldwide. While most people have heard of cataracts, misconceptions abound.

If you suspect you have cataracts, contact an eye doctor near you! 👀
